    Cultural Dimension Answer Examples


    Individualistic Culture or Collectivist Culture The offspring of retirees,
    Collectivist Culture in my experience, are
    happy to help out with
    their parents' care.
    Furthermore, Filipinos
    are known for being
    flexible in the event of a
    family emergency.
    In another commercial
    for the beverage
    "Breeze," the protagonist
    sacrificed victory in order
    to help the loser of a race
    who had fallen.
    Low Context or High High Context Culture The Filipino people are
    Context Culture known for their keen
    intuitive sense, or
    "nakikiramdam," which
    is based on their
    experiences in the actual
    world. Filipinos are
    careful with their word
    choice lest they come
    across as impolite.
    To avoid hurting
    someone's feelings, you
    might pretend to like a
    meal you're not really
    fond of, even while your
    true reaction is one of
    distaste.

    Monochronic Culture or Polychronic Culture Ai-Ai De Las Alas plays


    Polychronic Culture a single mother who

    Low Uncertainty Low UncertaintyAvoidance Ofcourse Filipinos are willing
    Avoidance or High to take chances; just look at

    Avoidance Culture (Overseas Filipino Workers).
    Filipinos, despite the
    unknowns of working in
    another culture, are not
    hesitant to take jobs abroad.
    Even though our future is
    unpredictable, we are able to
    remain calm and focused on
    the present.
    Masculine vs Feminism Masculine Culture Despite having had female
    Culture presidents and establishing
    equal rights for women,
    masculinity is still the norm
    in the Philippines. For
    instance, men are responsible
    for supporting their families
    monetarily, while women
    must be obedient to their
    husbands.
    Short Term Orientation or Short Term Orientation Filipinos value speed and
    Long Term Orientation Culture effectiveness. To qualify for
    Culture incentive pay in the business
    process outsourcing (BPO)
    sector, or as it is more often
    known, the call center
    industry, sales quotas must be
    met in a very short period of
    time.
